School Hunk or Childhood Sweetheart?-Chapter 482 - 483: Frustration
The woman was extremely dissatisfied with the man’s attitude, as she was pointing at him to vent her anger, but instead, he bowed and scraped to the young, fair-faced man in front of him.
The man glared at her and said, "Shut up, he is the new CEO of our company."
"Is he that Mr. Jiang who just returned from abroad?" Upon hearing this, the woman’s face changed instantly, and she looked at Shen Tan with envy.
Why?
Why does this unmarried pregnant woman get to be with such a good man?
Have all the good men gone blind nowadays?
The man wore a bitter expression, as the company had just been taken over, and there would inevitably be major adjustments in the department structure and personnel. They, the employees, were already on edge, fearing they could be asked to leave at any moment. They dreaded even bearing their tails while working in the company, and here his wife had gone and offended the big boss.
It’s as if they were too eager as a family to rush out and face the harsh winds of the northwest.
The woman now couldn’t help but feel some regret.
How was she to know that a random man who appeared could be her husband’s new company president?
Seeing he was young and good-looking, she had thought he was just some gigolo.
Beside them, little Shen Ning quietly sobbed and whispered hesitantly, "Mom, what is a stepdad? Is daddy really not Ningbao’s daddy?"
Shen Tan’s face grew colder by a few degrees as she comforted her daughter, "He’s not a stepdad, he is Ningbao’s real dad. We shouldn’t listen to such nonsense from others."
The man couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. At this point, he wasn’t even concerned about investigating what stupid thing his foolish wife had done but kept repeatedly apologizing to Jiang Yu and Shen Tan, "Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, I’m really sorry. My wife is uninformed and doesn’t know how to speak properly. If she has offended you both, I hope you won’t stoop to her level. I apologize on her behalf."
Jiang Yu said, "It’s not us your wife should be apologizing to, but the two children."
"Yes, yes, yes." As the man agreed, he looked at his wife and said, "Go apologize to Young Master Jiang and Miss Jiang now."
Even though the woman was reluctant, considering her entire family relied on her husband’s income, she knew the loss of his job would mean losing their financial support. Yet, she couldn’t swallow her pride to apologize publicly to the children and ended up grudgingly muttering, "I’m sorry."
Shen Tan couldn’t help but scoff, "Is this how you apologize to someone? With such insincerity, there’s no need to apologize at all."
The man became frantic, unable to restrain himself and slapped his wife across the face, "Do you still want to live this life? If you want to keep living it, apologize properly. If not, we might as well get divorced."
"You dare hit me?"
The woman, stunned by the slap, spun back to reality, completely furious.
At this moment, she was no longer worried about whether her husband could keep his job. Pointing at him, she yelled, "You good-for-nothing! Instead of standing up for your wife and child when they’re being insulted, you make us apologize. I was blind to have married such a useless man. I tell you, I don’t even want to stay with you anymore. Go ahead and divorce me if you have the guts. Whoever doesn’t file for divorce is a coward." With that, she stormed off, dragging the child with her.
"Mr. Jiang, I’m terribly sorry for making you witness such a scene." The man, having been verbally abused, had a completely darkened face and couldn’t even lash out in front of Jiang Yu.
The indignation and frustration he felt were overwhelming.
